The practice of saying "yes" is suggested in several traditions - one example is Chogyam Trungpa.

I notice that right now, even that is too much. It is extra. When I drop the "yes", I am where it is pointing to.

Footnote: This of course is always changing. What works in one inner/outer situation, is extra in another. Right now, just being the experiences as the arise, unfold, fade, is sufficient. It is beyond simple. No extra is needed.
